I am a collection manager at National Museum of Natural Science. I have worked here for 13 years. My collections mostly are from Taiwan but some of them are from Southwestern China and Papua New Guinea. Our collections normally were accessed through donation, purchasing, etc. Sometimes I and my colleague will collect them directly from our field works. My research interest is on the main stream culture of Taiwan and mainly focuses on heritage and folk religion. Although I am a collection manager, I also have to conduct exhibit project. The Lukang exhibit was the fifth project in my career. Those photos were collected during my field works. This exhibit was exciting because it involved community corporation and object’s interpretation. Hopefully in the near future, I would coordinate much more exhibits based on the museum’s collections.
